We hope this message finds you well and thriving. As always, we deeply appreciate your support and belief in the Calculated franchise. It's been an exciting time for us, and we’re eager to share our progress. Your investment continues to help us build something extraordinary, and we’re making significant strides in our journey. Below are the latest updates:
1. John Lee Speaking at the American Film Convention
We are proud to announce that our co-founder, John J. Lee Jr. has been invited to speak at the prestigious American Film Convention. This is a major milestone, as the convention is one of the most well-regarded events in the global film industry, bringing together the sharpest minds and most influential decision-makers. John will be sharing insights on the business of Film Production, engaging with key industry players who are shaping the future of film. His presence on this stage is a testament to the growing reputation of OneDoor Studios, and we look forward to leveraging these connections to further elevate Calculated.
2. Discussions with Major Studio Leaders
We are thrilled to share that we have been in active discussions with top executives at one of the largest and most well-known studios in the world. While we cannot disclose the name at this time, these conversations are pivotal. We are emphasizing the power of Calculated’s franchise in our potential collaboration, focusing on aligning Calculated with the studio’s expansive distribution and marketing capabilities. These discussions signal a promising partnership that could open doors for global exposure, ensuring Calculated reaches its full cinematic potential.
3. Progress with a Leading Publishing Company
In parallel, we have also initiated talks with leaders at a major publishing company regarding the novel adaptation of Calculated. The interest we’re receiving from such a significant player in the publishing world affirms the franchise’s crossover potential. A deal with a top-tier publisher will allow us to broaden Calculated’s reach, creating additional revenue streams through book sales and establishing a dedicated fanbase before and during the film's release. This partnership, should it materialize, will add another dynamic layer to our brand, bringing the story to life through multiple mediums.
4. Strengthening Ties in the Chinese Film Industry
In an exciting development, we are working closely with a highly influential leader in the Chinese film industry. This individual has deep ties, or "guanxi," with major Chinese studios and distributors, a critical factor for any project aiming for success in this market. As China is one of the largest and most lucrative film markets globally, this relationship is pivotal to ensuring Calculated resonates with Chinese audiences. By aligning with trusted local partners, we are positioning Calculated for a strategic rollout that maximizes both reach and box office potential in China.
As the world continues to recover from the impacts of the pandemic, international markets, particularly China, are driving the resurgence of the global box office. Films are increasingly performing better overseas than domestically, and this shift is influencing how studios greenlight projects and structure distribution strategies. For us, this further underscores the importance of the partnerships we are building in China and beyond, positioning Calculated to thrive in this new global landscape.
We are excited about the road ahead and remain confident in the tremendous potential of Calculated. Your continued support fuels our efforts, and we will keep you informed as we reach key milestones. Thank you once again for being an essential part of this journey.
Warm regards,
Jason Brents
